Order of the Battle Red Banner, extremely rare “Transcaucasian” type, serial number 25,000, awarded to a cavalry platoon commander for fighting to defeat illegal anti-government bandit formations (Basmachi) in Central Asia. The recipient actually had three orders (two of which were official). The third was personally awarded to him by his military unit, bypassing regulations and statutes! Orders of this type were presumably made by private craftsmen in Soviet Transcaucasia. Only 130 were produced. Serial numbers are from 25,000 to 25129. The order consists of four parts. The first part is the order itself, a composite piece consisting of four components. The first component is the base of the order, made of sterling silver. The description of the order’s image is identical to that of Type 1. However, the execution of almost all components differs. The orders also differ from one another. This is most likely due to the fact that individual batches of orders were made in different jewelry workshops. The order is much thicker than Type 1 and larger: approximately 46 mm in height and approximately 40 mm in width. The reverse of the order has virtually no counter-relief. The number is punched; it can be stamped either at the top or bottom of the order, in large numerals approximately 5 mm high or small numerals approximately 2 mm high. The second applique component is a gilded silver laurel wreath with a hammer and sickle inside, attached to the center of the order, on a white enamel field, with three copper pins. The ends of the pins on the reverse side were most often bent, and sometimes riveted. The third part is a brass screw soldered to the center of the order’s reverse. A fourth part is placed on the base of the screw-a round, slit brass washer, which serves to strengthen the screw’s attachment to the order. The second part is a thin, round, concave-convex brass washer with a diameter of 33 mm. A number identical to the serial number of the order itself is stamped along its convex side, along the edge. The digits of the number are stamped with the same punches used to stamp the digits on the order itself. In the center of the washer is a hole for the screw. The third part is a small, 14-16 mm in diameter, very convex brass nut with ears, which connects the rosette and washer to the order and serves to secure the order to the washer. The fourth part is a round, corrugated rosette of red moiré, framing the order. Although no order of this type with a rosette has yet survived, we still assume that they, as expected, were also equipped with a moiré rosette. It should be noted that, despite the varied designs of Type 2 orders, all washers and nuts are identical. Therefore, it can be assumed that all brass components for the orders were made in a single place. Silver, enamel, applied hammer and sickle elements (on clamp-antennae), thick blank format 26 grams (unlike the basic BKZ RSFSR 15.5-17g). Brass screw, pressure plate with number and small nut. On the 3 o’clock position on the counter, there is a surface finish. Enamel chips with an area of?? 3 mm2/sq. (shown in the photo).

The Tambov Uprising, or Antonovshchina (named after the leader of the uprising, chief of staff of the 2nd Insurgent Army, and a member of the party) The Antonov Rebellion Socialist Revolutionary A. Antonov’s rebellion was one of the largest peasant uprisings against the Russian Communist Party during the Russian Civil War, lasting in Tambov Governorate and surrounding regions from August 19, 1920, to June 1921. In Soviet historiography, it is sometimes referred to as the “Antonov Rebellion” or the Tambov Operation. The commander of the United Partisan Army and chairman of the Union of Working Peasants (STK) was Pyotr. Like the Kronstadt uprising, it largely contributed to the RCP’s decision to abandon the policy of War Communism and transition to the New Economic Policy (NEP). The use of chemical weapons against participants in the Tambov (Antonov) Uprising in 1921 is considered the first instance in history of the use of chemical warfare agents by a state against its own people. Key facts about this event. Order: The decision was enshrined in the famous. 0116 of June 12, 1921, signed by Mikhail Tukhachevsky and Vladimir Antonov-Ovseenko. Goal: To flush the rebels out of the dense forests where they were hiding and out of reach of conventional artillery and cavalry. Gas type: Chlorine and phosgene (in cylinders and chemical shells) were primarily used. Execution: Gas attacks were carried out between June and August 1921. In particular, shelling of forested areas near Lake Ramza has been documented. Effectiveness: Despite the terrifying nature of the order, the actual combat effect was limited due to poor personnel training, a shortage of ammunition, and weather conditions. However, the psychological impact on the peasants and families of the rebels was colossal. It is worth noting that the use of gas was accompanied by a system of hostage-taking and executions of civilians, which together enabled the Red Army to suppress the uprising by mid-1921.
